[Gallery] [Screencaps] [Fashion] [Version française]










You get a message when you try to copy and paste the interview saying "Copying articles to share with others is a breach of FT.com T&Cs and Copyright Policy" so I'm not going to share the interview, here's the LINK to read it all, but here's what's to remember as an Emma fan.

  • Emma, her brother Alex and their dad Chris are part of the interview.
  • The gin is going on sale today in the UK.
  • Emma's a shareholder (though didn't put money in the business) and the imagery, design and art direction are all hers.
  • She has or will soon direct a music video. According "you will definitely have heard of him"
  • She plans on acting again but is not in a hurry like we are. Though she already has plans to film early 2024 if everything goes according to plan.
  • She's going back to studying in September for a MA in creative writings in Oxford (Google says MA means Master of Arts)


FULL INTERVIEW (worth the read. Their dad sounds fun)

Wider video below can be found on Renais' website. My laptop won't let me download it :(

Ed Shearan.

If HP proved anything she has a thing for gingers :)

Anonymous said...

Lol she had to tell her dad not to say things unless he's sure he wants it in the article implying emma said things that were meant to be off the record before but journalists used it anyway I'm guessing she learned a lesson there xd

Anonymous said...

Sounds like Hamnet to me, Chloe and the writer are writing the script right now so makes sense they won't shoot until the beggining of next year.

I'm over the moon right now, but we should be relaxed, we already have experience about those Emma's projects....

Anonymous said...

She has never dated with a ginger so it is not the thing. But I bet Ed Sheeran because he is Tom Felton’s friend.

Her decision to get a Masters's in creative writing at Oxford is definitely a realistic step to realizing her ambitions. I am happy that she took such a serious step to strengthen and ground her creativity. I am looking forward to Emma, the writer in whichever way that will be.

Well, she was out of the eye for a long time, over two years.

felton makes music its secretly him lmao

going to college to learn screen writing is very important certain other writers think they can just jump from book writing to screen writing and then fail completely its good she is smart about this and doesn't expect to just start writing films without any training

Anonymous said...

eden do you think hamnet is pretty much confirmed? (im scared because she says 'if everything goes to plan' maybe meaning its not 100% certain whatever project it is will happen?)

Anonymous said...

Yup script writing is a different skill than the English lit courses Emma took before
It shows she is really thinking it through and not just rushing into things

Anonymous said...

I think it will be USA artist

"eden do you think hamnet is pretty much confirmed? (im scared because she says 'if everything goes to plan' maybe meaning its not 100% certain whatever project it is will happen?)"

I'm not considering anything confirmed until Variety or Deadline talk about it. But I think the "if everything goes to plan" because so many movies she was confirmed to be in didn't end up being made. "Napoleon & Betsy", "Your Voice in My Head", "While We're Young", "Queen of the Tearling", and those are just the ones at the top of my head right now.

a big writers strike in usa got announced many projects could be in trouble over the next few years :(

https://deadline.com/2023/04/wga-strike-cinemacon-box-office-impact-theatrical-release-calendar-the-flash-dc-1235334322/

in 2007-2008 when the last strike happened so many movies and shows got destroyed, now that eden mentions it i think emmas napoleon and betsy film was part of the canceled ones maybe?

Anonymous said...

Emma was gonna be in a Napoleon movie??? never heard of it at all?? wow!

french emma fans must be still mad this never happened, poor eden aww xd

Anonymous said...

yay! I knew she would make a video for Alex you could just tell it was coming :)

Anonymous said...

Speaking of Napoleon, Will you watch ridley scott's Napoleon movie in November this year Eden?

or maybe French people are actually not that interested in it? haha

Anonymous said...

IT IS DEFINITELY ED SHEERAN

Anonymous said...

Damn Emma has been gone for 5 years and then bombarded us with all of this once she shows up

Anonymous said...

The funny thing is that Emma didn't post anything at all regarding this after her birthday sneak peak post about this

Eden said...

I don't know if French people are interested or not, but I sure am not XD

Emmas should post about it because there's not so much press yet.

Anonymous said...

the press just took the thing bout her dad giving her wine as a kid and used that for headlines they know they can get a negative slant and views using that line

Anonymous said...

she met up with Ed at recent earth day events and echo warrior things in recent years, it is likely they decided to work together then

Anonymous said...

the press are too busy going 'emma watson dad got her drunk as a child!!!" type nonsense

Anonymous said...

Eden will watch the real movie of the year Super Mario instead xD

Eden said...

"felton makes music its secretly him lmao"

That's actually a good guess imo. Any Tom Felton fan can tell us if he talked about releasing new music?

Anonymous said...

Given he has a new album about to come out, Ed Sheeran would make a lot of sense

Anonymous said...

Doubt it’s Tom, not heard any music plans. He hasn’t done a proper EP in years and that’d be more a friend project

Anonymous said...

People dont know him as a music artist Emma's sentence made it sound like someone we will know from music industry to me...lol of its Felton though xd

Anonymous said...

I just remembered, Emma started following a FT HTSI journalist back when she was in Venice. That journalist was covering the film festival.

Who‘s gonna buy this gin? Looked at the price? Hands up who does 🙌🏿

Reports of Emma's demise are greatly exaggerated; make mine a double G&T! :D

Eden said...

Seeing Bonnie Wright's pregnancy news makes me want to have like a weekly post about the news from some other former HP actors (at least the core 7 minus Emma). Someone stop me! I already struggle to take care of Emma's news!

Anonymous said...

Maybe Emma is the last of the young HP actors to have a family lol. It's great to see she's back and feeling positive and optimistic about her career and life.

Anonymous said...

She seemed to have most pressure to have a family from media I think it had reverse effect of emma becoming less interested in that and getting more focused on her career

Anonymous said...

I think tom and his GF are next for a baby xD

after Rupert i seriously think all hp cast where like 'oh yeah about time we have kids i guess?' lmao

just how the timing is one after another haha

Anonymous said...

The others had babies so Emma got a dog instead, she is so real for that! lol

Anonymous said...

people jumped on her when she turned 30 asking when she is settling down then the whole self partnered thing came out
i notice Evanna and bonnie or even dan or rupert didn't get asked about turning 30 and not settling down yet at that time.
smh all questioning is always put on Emma above the others

Eden do a celeb gossip blog in general maybe? i think you would be good at it!

'Edens Pop Culture Updates'

xd

Anonymous said...

I think with Emma compared to the others her relationship only last 1-2 years but dan and others are dating their partner for like 10 years or something, that's why they have started families at this stage but Emma is on a different journey in her life and thats okay.

She looks so Good!!

Emma and Alex both have new IG posts

I’ve bought the gin, it should ship in a couple of weeks. It’s more than a normal bottle but I think the first ones are limited edition and I think it’s priced more as a special thing that’s to be shared at a dinner party, or family occasion or as a gift. I’m looking forward to opening it at a party.

eden new black n white shots of emma going around twitter from this shoot did you see them? maybe you can have another post for them :)

eden so busy this week hehe

Sorry but in my opinion this article was made provide free advertising for his brother new product.

Yes this is a marketing campaign we know that? Lol

How is Emma going to film if she is going to be studying? Hmm...

But I am glad she addressed it lol.

Eden said...

"How is Emma going to film if she is going to be studying? Hmm..."

She did it when filming the last HP.

Eden said...

"The fans keep talking like that Emma would be the last one, I wonder how the base would react if suddenly boom Emma is posting a sonogram picture🤰or even better a maternity shoot🗿🗿🗿"

If Emma is ever pregnant, I feel like we'll know about it once the baby's already there XD

Nat said...

her course starts in september but maybe ends before 2024 or is a part-time or weekend lessons its possible to study while also having a job

Anonymous said...

She looks gorgeous. Wishing her and Alex best of luck with the biz. I think she might be directing video for kooks or Luke Evans maybe. She should’ve done her masters ages ago with such long breaks 😀

Anonymous said...

"How is Emma going to film if she is going to be studying? Hmm..."

A masters isn't like an undergraduate degree, it's much more flexible.

Anonymous said...

The masters she’s doing is a two year part-time course. So she can do it whilst working. It’s both intensive but also seems very flexible and student led. I’d imagine that’s why she chose it.

Anonymous said...

It’s actually an MSt not an MA (Oxford doesn’t have MAs). For those wondering:
The MSt (Master of Studies) is a part-time Master's degree, designed for individuals who may be working full time as well as studying.
Academic requirements for entry is high, so her grades at Brown were obviously good (not surprising)

Anonymous said...

Good to know she's having her well deserved break tbh, now Ems ready for everything at once i guess

Anonymous said...

Tbh, her acting in Colonia, The Ballet Shoes, and Noah were the best and very potential. I wonder what happened to her acting in Beauty and The Beast and The Circle tho

Anonymous said...

Ngl, kinda hope Emma was in Hunger Games prequel tho😭😭😭

I think she will fit in some actions/fantasy movies rather than these romance/mystery she had been doing

Anonymous said...

As others have said it’s a two year masters designed for people working. A lot of it will be seminars, one-one tutorials and workshops. It’s not 9-5 taught lectures where she goes to class

Anonymous said...

I was thinking the same thing when announced that she wanted to film in 2024. If she begins in September, she would only have a year of studies completed. I wondered all along if she was studying something since she was out of the limelight for such a long time- other than for some sporatic sightings. What I am saying is that she must have begun her studies to be able to film in 2024. And if her degree is not completed, she would be cutting it really short. Fall semester is over in the early summer. Either she takes time off again between filming and studies or she has already begun her studies. It seems she has been on a break for the last five or so years. Well anyway, I hope she perseveres with her plans. Wish you well Emma.

Does anyone know if Emma was the one that directed the renais video?

Anonymous said...

probably was directed by her, not sure who they would hire for it and guess not listing any directors in the posts means they think everyone will know it was Emma? i could be wrong though

Anonymous said...

It does looks like Emma's aesthetic tho... The vibes are the same as Paradoxe and that other mini film she made of her friend
